write an equation for the line in point slope form...when it passes through (9,1) and the x intercept is 5 and then slope intercept form...im so confused

Answer 1

You are given two points
(9,1) and (5,0)

Every textbook must have an example for this basic type of question.

Answer 2

The line passes through (9,1) and (5,0)

The slope is (1-0)/(9-5) = 1/4

y = (1/4) x + b

1 = 9/4 + b
b = -5/4

y = (1/4)(x - 5)
is the equation of the line.
